From 00bcf6ecbc38b79579c09b25dcf848c159513f5a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Tatham Date: Sat, 11 Feb 2017 07:08:53 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Update documentation for 0.68. Several places in the docs were labelled for review because they need to change when 0.68's feature set comes in - no SSH-2 to SSH-1 fallback any more, but on the other hand, Unix Pageant now exists. --- doc/errors.but | 10 +++++----- doc/faq.but | 8 +++----- 2 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/errors.but b/doc/errors.but index e221a2d9..fdbdd861 100644 --- a/doc/errors.but +++ b/doc/errors.but @@ -69,11 +69,11 @@ change the \q{SSH protocol version} setting (see \k{config-ssh-prot}), or use the \c{-1} command-line option; in any case, you should not treat the resulting connection as secure. -You might start seeing this message with new versions of PuTTY -\#{XXX-REVIEW-BEFORE-RELEASE: (from 0.XX onwards)} -where you didn't before, because it used to be possible to configure -PuTTY to automatically fall back from SSH-2 to SSH-1.
